FROM THE PR ESI DE N T
2014 – 2015 Board of Directors
PRESIDENT
JEWELL BLAIR, Allied ASID
president@asidaznorth.org
40 YEARS!
Some of our members were part of the founding years
of ASID starting in 1975, and 40 years later, we are still the largest, most
reputable professional organization for interior designers. Our history goes
back to the founding of our predecessor organizations, the American Institute
of Interior Designers (AID) and the National Society of Interior Designers
(NSID). We stand strong in the value of interior design and continue to
work to positively change people’s lives. In 2015, we have more than 24,000
members engaged in professional programs and activities in 48 chapters
throughout the United States and Canada.
Industry Partners include more than 2,000 manufacturers of designrelated products and services, with some 6,000 individual representatives. The
Society’s membership also includes nearly 5,000 students in 280 chapters at
colleges and universities and virtual chapters for online students.
This “Why Statement” established in 2014 speaks to the sustaining vision
of our organization:
“ASID advances the profession
and communicates the impact
of interior design to enhance
the human experience.”
I was reminded of this “Why” when I attended the National President’s
Forum several weeks ago here in Phoenix. We can get so focused on
completing the project and meeting the deadlines, that our “why” is not the
focus of our work. We have an amazing impact on the human experience,
most of the time in a second-nature way. It would do us good to stay mindful
of our talents, and how they communicate to the public the professionalism
that is ASID.
We will be planning several celebrations of our 40th year in the coming
months. No matter the number of years you have been a member, you
represent the amazing legacy of ASID. The Core Values and Strategic
Guideposts are being used by our national organization to refine, expand
and improve our position as the one voice for all involved in the interior
design field. Our community of designers, architects, educators, industry
representatives, and students, continue to excel. Make a commitment to
renew your involvement, excitement and support of ASID during this 40th
Anniversary year.

L
ife is a series of events. We are blessed
with emotions from joy to sorrow, love to
hate, elation to pain. ASID Arizona North is
no different.
We make note in this issue of several very different
events affecting those of us in the Interior Design
community in the Valley of the Sun. “In Memoriam”
reflects on Pat Bacon and her stalwart efforts with
ASID and getting our chapter started. Her loss will be met with the celebration
of her life, tears for her passing and a sweet knowledge that we could not have
been birthed without her. Pat will be missed.
But sorrow is accompanied with joy in the celebration of Mary Meinz,
ASID, NCIDQ, and her new “Master of the Southwest” recognition as
bestowed upon her by Phoenix Home & Garden magazine.
How lucky we are as a chapter to have such talent in our midst. A talent so
profound as to be recognized by our Media Partner.
It is important that our official publication of the ASID Arizona North
Chapter honor the accomplishments of our membership. Reflections on
current praise and past work is worthy of our attention. I hope Pat would
approve of what she started and how we’ve grown.

is a LEED Gold Certified Building, making it the perfect setting for our
“Sustainability & Social Consciousness
in Architecture” Chapter Meeting with
speakers, Mr. Lance Enyart, AIA, LEED

Lindsay Enyart, fashion designer. Mr.
Enyart revealed several architectural
designs that brought forward the LEED

trends. To support this design theme,
Ms. Enyart related the pervasiveness of
this sustainable thought process into
the fabric design, fashion design and

M
ary has a 40-year interior design career that began in the
Midwest and continued in Scottsdale when she relocated here in 2005. She
jumped right in working at Robb & Stuckey Interiors and soon started her
own business. Immediately the design profession started taking notice as Mary received
numerous Design Excellence Awards. Phoenix Home & Garden magazine featured her
work in several issues and ultimately recognized Mary as a Master of the Southwest for
Interior Design. Congratulations, Mary!

unexpected, and often a twist of fun.
Phoenix Home & Garden magazine’s March issue includes numerous pictures of a
residence completed by Mary. You can also view the home on this link:

Traci S h i e l d s , A S I D,
Frie d man and S h i e l d s
I
am a professional member of ASID, and NCIDQ certified, and have
been practicing interior design since the late 1980’s. So, why was it then
that my heart sank when I heard news that I needed to be licensed while
practicing Interior Design in the state of Arizona? What did this mean? What
kind of experience would I need to prove? What tests or applications would I
need to complete? Or even worse, what if I did nothing with this knowledge?
What could happen to my firm and myself?
Like most designers I ran with my jobs from start to finish. Throughout my
entire career I would typically hire trades and other professionals on my clients’
behalf. Now I needed to be licensed, bonded, and insured to do this? Really?
Why was I just now hearing of this? As with most experienced designers,
feeling stalemated, my first thought was to push back. At this point, I had been
working in this industry for nearly 20 years. Now I have to be licensed by the
state just to do my job?
Interior Design is my passion, so I thoroughly searched the ROC website for
hours. I read, researched, and followed links on the procedures and steps toward
my licensing. The more I read and understood, the more it became clear to me
that I was performing the work of a Contractor. Unknowingly, I was putting
my clients, my company, and myself at risk. Through this process, I was able
to educate myself on the importance of hiring ONLY licensed, bonded, and
insured trades.
Unsure of the next forward step in my journey, and armed with questions, I
took a trip to downtown Phoenix to meet with the staff of ROC. I was fearful
the ROC would have a steel fist, and shake their finger at me, or at the least,
I might be fined for working without a license. I could not have been more
wrong in my assumptions. I was completely surprised by the genuine attention,
advice and encouragement I received from the ROC staff. Their intentions
were not to reprimand me, but offer a supportive hand, as they were in my
corner. They helped me to understand the necessity in becoming a legitimately
practicing, licensed Interior Designer.
In May of 2009, my persistence paid off as I obtained my first license, the
CR-5 Dual Interior Design, Non-Structural. This now meant I was licensed
to practice both residential and commercial work. This milestone achieved,
I found a new sense of pride and conviction in my abilities as I felt more
respected on job sites and among fellow contractors. In 2013, pushing forward
still, my firm obtained its B-3 license. We now had full control and allowed us
to run our own remodel jobs in-house.
We had an overwhelmingly positive response from both our existing clientele
and potential clients. Our clients love the fact that we have the ability to
facilitate and oversee every aspect of their job, and specific needs. Our business
has benefited tremendously as a result.
I am extremely passionate about our profession and the prospect of all
Interior Designers becoming Licensed Professionals. Our clients are looking
to us for sound counsel, and since we have our hand in the inner-workings of
countless interior details, we should always be held to the highest standards.
I would strongly encourage you to take the time to get informed and to get
comfortable with the notion of becoming a licensed professional. Push through
the uncomfortable and become exceptional!

Contemporary
Southwest Style
BY KAROL DE WULF NI CK ELL

outhwest design has been with us for centuries, evolving over
time as new eras brought new ideas, influences and preferences. Today, the
evolution continues. This style, unique to our region and its history, is being
infused with the clean lines, straightforward function and edited spaces common
to Modern design. More than a trend, this amalgamation heralds a bright future
for our signature architecture, interior design, landscape design and lifestyle. While
there are many interpretations and expressions of this blend of two worlds, it is
most often referred to as contemporary Southwest style.
At the core of this growing look are characteristics from both Modern and
Southwest design. From the Modern period, which stretched from the 1930s
into the ‘60s, you see simplicity, casual comfort and an attention to detail. From
the Southwest side, there are the desert colors, textures, materials and seamless
indoor/outdoor living spaces. Design professionals, developers, retailers and
realtors all report that customers want contemporary Southwest style in their
homes here in the Valley. And, they’re clamoring to deliver on that wish.
At Phoenix Home & Garden, we’re particularly excited about this movement.
So much so that we’re dedicating our 2015 Special Edition to the theme. In this
large-format exclusive issue, we’ll bring the best of contemporary Southwest style
in architecture, interior design, landscape design, new products and home tech
to our readers and community. We’ll also convene a leading conversation about
the future of Southwest style with top residential design professionals in our area.
Look for our Special Edition in your mailbox; it will arrive with your June issue
of Phoenix Home & Garden.

volution Design created a new interior space for the national baseball
training franchise known as D-Bat which is owned and operated by a local major league
baseball player. The scope of services involved building out an industrial building, new shell
space to accommodate batting cages, locker rooms, a showroom space, etc. Clean, modern
finishes were utilized for the reception desk, a collaboration area and locker rooms for the
exclusive use and comfort of professional and amateur athletes alike. View rooms are also
available for parents to watch their children as they practice. Video capability was provided
to measure swing motion and pitching speeds.
Careful layout of the cages and lighting was key to provide visual ease for batters
in the cage. Egress was a challenge in order to accommodate the various expanses of
space necessary for optimal training for each batting cage size for amateur, college, and
professional batters.
Another collaborative match of Evolution Design’s talent combined a doctor’s passion
for water and his desire to create a serene environment for his patients. The new offices
for Pearson Orthodontics created a calming and friendly orthodontics office on a limited
budget. Architectural features such as curved walls in the lobby were used to emulate
flowing water. A water droplet mural and wavelike furniture were also incorporated. Clean,
white solid surface material was used on the reception desk. Simple, inexpensive light
fixtures from a local retail store added whimsy to the space.
In the clinic area, curves were created with budget friendly carpet tile and bamboo sheet
vinyl to continue the feeling of waves. A water mural flows across the entire exam area and
striped fabrics in blues and green hues were used to reupholster the examination chairs.
Accent walls were painted with the same blue from the lobby and completed with curved
mirrors at individual patient sinks. Finally, a curved soffit was used in the exam room and
painted to accentuate the curvature to help finish off the look and feel of water.

his project involved a comprehensive remodel of both public and private
areas in a commercial office building that included a front lobby, conference room, break
area and public and private work spaces. The challenge was to inventively transform a drab
and dated business suite, with ample infrastructure issues, into a fresh and practical office
environment for a small business owner.
Designing around existing internal structural components, a space plan was created
with adjacencies cognizant of public and private daily business place activities. Encouraging
elements of an open plan environment, the new space plan sensibly flows from public
to private areas factoring in privacy and noise control requirements. Natural light flows
through the space and the number of workspaces with exterior views maximized to
capitalize on the health and productivity benefits of daylight.
Color plays an important role as strong, comforting neutral tones are paired with
hues of blues, golds and greens. When combined, these colors evoke a sense of calmness,
and clear-headedness required for creative thinking and decision making. Through the
use of a variety of surfaces, textures, and unexpected combinations of components and
materials, this space emits an organic vibe with a subtle industrial flair that captures a
unique sense of tranquility and visual interest. Ultimately, an intimate and professional
workplace environment was achieved that encourages a fluid working dynamic for this
commercial firm.

INTERIOR DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
April LOZEVSKI
Allied ASID, Avril Interiors
T
here is no doubt in April’s mind that
she was destined to be a designer. From as
early as she can remember, art and creativity
were a part of her world. As a child, she sat at her
mother’s feet and watched her paint for hours.
Together they tackled home improvement projects
large and small. Most memorable may be the giant
wall of 70’s gold speckled, mirrored tiles in their
hallway! The feeling of joy and accomplishment
from creating these projects that made up her home
is what drives April to this day. It led her to the
College of Architecture & Design at Arizona State
University where she graduated in1995 with a
Bachelors of Science in Design. The curriculum at
ASU was highly demanding and competitive; mixing
practical knowledge and history with innovation and
inspiration. Coming from a background in music
and creative writing, April relished projects where
she was challenged to translate music, art and poetry
into the design of a space. She credits her design
education with teaching her to pull inspiration from
unexpected sources and channel her unique vision
into one-of-a-kind environments for her clients.
But the opportunity that really sealed her fate was
a coveted internship with Tony Sutton at Est Est,
Inc. Thrust into a world of high-end residential
and hospitality projects while working alongside
a close team of talented designers, it was the ideal
environment to get her feet wet. April loved the
variety, scope and range of styles that being part
of a large firm offered. However, it was the client
interaction and connection that truly spoke to her.
Longing for a more intimate and personal approach
to design, April launched Avril Interiors in 1998.
With a focus on exceptional quality, creative thinking
and attention to detail, Avril Interiors is dedicated
to taking care of clients with the highest level of
personal service.
From humble beginnings as a one-woman show,
over the past 17 years, Avril Interiors has grown
into a full service boutique design studio. The small
design studio takes on projects of all shapes, sizes
and budgets ~ believing that everyone should have
access to good design. They were honored in 2014
to receive two 1st Place ASID Design Excellence
Awards and two Honorable
Mentions for recently
completed projects.
April’s favorite part of the
design process is getting inside
her client’s heads. She likes
to get to know their quirks
and needs, fully understanding
what’s important to them.
Believing every room she
designs should capture the spirit
and style of its inhabitants, no
two projects are ever the same.
She likes to think of herself as
a design chameleon. Whether
the clients want contemporary,
traditional, rustic, old world
or a unique fusion of different
aesthetics, April’s strength is
listening intently and working
closely with them to help
realize their vision.
